1 Kings 19:1-8

1Now AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 everythingH3605 thatH834 ElijahH452 had doneH6213 and howH834 he had killedH2026 allH3605 the prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719. 2So JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 toH413 ElijahH452, sayingH559, “May the godsH430 deal with meH6213, and ever soH3541 severelyH3254, ifH3588 by this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I have not madeH7760 your lifeH5315 like the livesH5315 ofH259 those you killed!”

3And Elijah was afraidH7200H6965 and ranH1980 forH413 his lifeH5315. When he cameH935 to BeershebaH884 in JudahH3063, he leftH5117 his servantH5288 thereH8033, 4while he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117H935 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057. He sat downH3427 underH8478 aH259 broom treeH7574 and prayedH7592 that heH5315 might dieH4191. “I have had enoughH7227H6258, LORDH3068,” he saidH559. “TakeH3947 my lifeH5315, forH3588 I amH595 noH3808 betterH2896 than my fathersH1.”

5Then he lay downH7901 underH8478 the broom treeH7574 and fell asleepH3462H259.

SuddenlyH2009H2088 an angelH4397 touchedH5060 him and saidH559, “Get upH6965 and eatH398.”

6And he looked aroundH5027, and thereH2009 by his headH4763 was a cake of breadH5692 baked over hot coalsH7529, and a jarH6835 of waterH4325. So he ateH398 and drankH8354 and lay downH7901 againH7725.

7A secondH8145 time the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 returnedH7725 and touchedH5060 him, sayingH559, “Get upH6965 and eatH398H3588, or the journeyH1870 will be too muchH7227 for youH4480.”

8So he got upH6965 and ateH398 and drankH8354. And strengthenedH3581 by thatH1931 foodH396, he walkedH1980 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 until he reachedH5704 HorebH2722,1 the mountainH2022 of GodH430.
